Pre-Game Talk: Game 40: Monday, January 6, 7:30 PM | Prime, RDS Canuckleheads @ Habs

Back on home ice after what most would agree was the turning point of our season and we get treated to the best broadcast team in the game!

Wins over the past 4 Stanley Cup Champions and losses to two bottom feeders in our past 6 - Sacreblue!

After Hutson bitch slapped Makar and showed him who the new kid on the block is....it's time to do the same to Quinn.

The Nucks are in locker room shambles while our boys are tighter than ever!

What do you think??? Will we start our newest revelation Jakub Dobes or go back to reliable Monty.....Goalie Controversy?!?!

We need our boy Slaf to pick up his confidence and play like he did in the second half of last year!

. '

And finally.....can we please get Laine back into this lineup. Pump him full of electrolytes. Two games off with "flu-like" symptoms is enough!!

Discuss here!

Crazy schedule anyway. Glad to see them finally reach their cruising speed, but I still think they are a .500 team. We are at mid-season now. Even If they can add 45 to 50 points, that won’t be enough to make the Playoffs. Watching a competitive team which is minimizing its errors, is all what I wish for.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Let’s see what Slaf is made of, he was benched and clearly pissed.

Channel that energy on the ice to go beast mode kid.

This is the classical trap game coming off the road.
Maybe the good news is we are taking on what should be a playoff team and not a scrub.

I have no idea what to expect but I do know who I would start in goal.
The reasons are much the same as why I wanted Dobes to start in Chicago.

I think the players would start the game with much more of an edge.
Which was surely an issue against the Hawks.

Important game for us keep points away from Vancouver even if it's simply to keep Calgary in the hunt.
If they fall out of it too early I can easily see a free fall which will affect our pick.

Canucks are a great team on paper but they’re so damn dysfunctional.

 

[OldCraig71]

I want to see Dobes in Prime view!

Hopefully instead of going out there and giving yet another lackluster performance

Their Ds without Hronek and Q. Hughes are not very good actually, but Hughes might be back for tomorrow's game.

Yeah I'd like to see if the fact that it was Evans who was double shifting for him was a catalyst on that tying goal motivates him at all.

Marty doesn't have the Balls does he?

 

[Team_Spirit]

I got my hands on the bonus DVD boys!

Shout out to my boo Emmanuelle

 

[Fatbiggie]

The classic home loss after a lenghty road trip. Vancouver is in shambles so we might have a chance to overcome this.

 

[morhilane]

So looks like this will be a road game after all!

Habs landed late today (a bit after 5pm) and they are cancelling tomorrow morning practice to have more time recuperating from all the traveling.

Traveling must be so difficult on a chartered jet with tons of food and stuff. I'd need recuperating too.

How's this?

Deez Canuts!

Why am I picturing Tony Stark’s jet from Iron Man 1 with the Sake and dancing flight attendants?

 

[Walksss]

I wonder if this blockbuster trade that is being negotiated behind the scenes in the NHL will be done before gametime tomorrow.

Maybe JT Miller or more likely Petterson are traveling out of Vancouver tomorrow night and we'll get an even weaker team.

Have you hit your 30s yet?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It sounds like Hughes is a game time decision tomorrow. He seemed to be participating fully in Canucks practice today.

Pettersson is unlikely to play.

I expect Montembeault to be in net.

Vancouver is actually a really good road team. They're 11-4-2. They tend to go into OT a lot, though.

3 games in 4 nights & coming off a lengthy road trip. It'll be another tough one.

 

[JianYang]

I'm not sure if 3 in 4 is more difficult or the fact that they are about to play their 6th game in 11 days with no homestand in there.

Patrik Laine about to make his debut on Amazon Prime!

 

[Habs]

Does Laine need a hug or a safe space ??? How do we get sweetie back In the game ??

He definitely needs heeling healing.
